The issues of the slave trade and runaway slaves were addressed at the Constitutional Convention through various compromises. The compromise reached allowed the slave trade to continue for 20 years before being prohibited, and established rules for the return of runaway slaves to their owners. These compromises reflected the contentious nature of slavery among the delegates and aimed to balance the interests of states with different views on the institution.
